Hundreds of passengers have been impacted after three major US airlines experienced system-wide computer outages.

Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines Co took to their social media accounts to report the system-wide outage, with United Airlines saying they were unable to create paperwork.

It's affecting our flights system wide, and we're working to see if it's affecting any other carriers this morning as well. In the meantime, once more information has been made available our Agents at the airport will be happy to disseminate it to y'all. -Rocky
